Spectrophotometric Determination of Iron in Pharmaceutical and Water Samples by Interacting with 5-„4-Nitrophenylazo… Salicylic Acid and Eosin ABSTRACT: A highly stable ternary complex of iron共III兲 with 5-共4-nitrophenylazo兲 salicylic acid 共NPAS兲 and Eosin 共Es兲 in acidic medium at room temperature gave a maximum absorption at 545 nm with a molar absorptivity 2.81⫻104 L mol⫺1 cm⫺1. A spectrophotometric method using these ligands was developed and optimized in terms of pH, stability of the complex, amount of reagent required, sensitivity, linearity, and the effect of various foreign ions was studied. The linear range for iron共III兲 determination is 0.18–6.0 mg L⫺1. The method was sensitive, accurate, and all the reagents were stable under the working conditions. Moreover, the method was easy to perform for the determination of iron in pharmaceutical and water samples. KEYWORDS: spectrophotometry, iron, azo dye, eosin, pharmaceutical, biological, water

Introduction The human body needs daily an amount of vitamins that contain minerals for the biological processes occurring in the body but any vitamin or mineral can be extremely harmful. One of the most abundant minerals in vitamins is iron, its deficiency or large amounts have destructive manners. Excessive iron can be toxic because free ferrous iron reacts with peroxides to produce free radicals, which are highly reactive and can damage deoxyribonucleic acid, proteins, lipids, and other cellular components. Ternary complexes of the general formula 关LnM xSy兴 have been widely used in spectrophotometric analysis 关1–5兴. The study and the analytical applications of ternary complexes attract much interest in pharmaceutical analysis, either in the determination of metal cations, which are present in various formulations and biological samples 关6–8兴. The present study was undertaken to develop a sensitive spectrophotometric method for the determination of iron共III兲, which is the main and essential therapeutic component in various pharmaceutical preparations which are used for the prevention and the treatment of iron-deficiency anaemia. Pervious methods for spectrophotometric determination of Fe共III兲 have some disadvantages like time consuming, low sensitivity, heating process, and the use of large amounts of organic solvents, which could increase the environmental pollution like the following methods: Yoshio shijo 共␧ = 17.3⫻ 104 L mol−1 cm−1, ␭max = 613 nm, benzene and xylene for extracting, long procedure兲 关9兴, Hemlata Mohabey et al., 共␧ = 1.21 ⫻ 104 L mol−1 cm−1, ␭max = 520 nm, benzene for extracting兲 关10兴, Lih-Fen 共␧ = 1.2⫻ 104 L mol−1 cm−1, ␭max = 514 nm, shaking for 10 min in water bath 55° C兲 关11兴, J.

2 JOURNAL OF ASTM INTERNATIONAL

The optimum conditions for the spectrophotometric of Fe共III兲 were established. A simple, sensitive, and selective method was proposed for the determination of Fe共III兲. The method was applied successfully to the determination of Fe共III兲 in mineral vitamins and water samples. Experimental Instruments Absorption measurements were measured on a Thermo Evolution 300 recording spectrophotometer using 10 mm matched quartz cells and slit width 2 nm. The pH-meter 共HANNA HI 223兲 equipped with a Radiometer combined glass electrode was used for pH measurements. The pH values in water-ethanol medium were corrected as described elsewhere 关20兴. Chemicals All chemicals were analytical reagent grade and de-ionized water 共or absolute ethanol兲 was used for solutions’ preparations. Standard Procedure Spectrophotometric Determination of Trace Amounts of Fe(III)—The spectrophotometric determination of Fe共III兲 with NPAS and Es employs the complex with molar ratio M : L : A = 1 : 1 : 2. A solution containing 5 ␮g of iron共III兲 共1.0 mL兲 was transferred to 10 mL calibrating flask which contains 1.65 ⫻ 10−3M of NPAS 共1.0 mL兲 and 3.3⫻ 10−3M of Es 共2 mL兲 and 1.0 mL of 1.0M NaClO4 then add the required volume of ethanol to keep the percentage at 30 % ethanol then add the appropriate amount of HClO4 to reach pH of 3.8 and reach to 10 ml as total volume then measure the absorbance against reagent blank at ␭max 545 nm. Absorbance of all solutions investigated remains constant for at least 5 h. Dissolution of Commercial Pharmaceutical Preparations—Commercial pharmaceutical samples were provided from local Egyptian pharmaceutical industries. Ten capsules of each preparation were weighed accurately to determine the average weight of the capsules, the contents of them were grinded to fine powder, dissolved in a mixture of HNO3 / H2SO4 共10:1兲, and heated gently until charring began. Drop wise addition of HNO3 and boiling were continued until a colorless liquid was obtained. A few millilitres of water were added, and the solution was evaporated to evolution of white fumes then it was dissolved in a few millilitres of 0.1M perchloric acid and diluted to 100 mL with bi-distilled water. Results and Discussion Acid-Base Properties of NPAS The absorption spectra of 0.5⫻ 10−4M of the reagent in 50 % ethanol and various concentration of HClO4 and NaOH were recorded as the dependence A = f共␭兲 for various pH. The ultra violet-visible spectra of NPAS in all mixtures investigated display four absorption bands within all the pH range of 1.4–12.5. The maximum absorption of these bands were located at 365, 380, 390, and 520 nm. The different acid-base equlibria existing in solution of NPAS may be represented by the following equations 关21兴: −H+ −H+ −H+ + − LH3  LH2  LH  L2− 共6.0–9.3兲 共9.5–11.5兲 共3.7–5.5兲 共1.4–3.1兲

Absorption Spectra and Optimum pH The solution spectra of NAPS exhibited a main absorption band at ␭ = 365 nm at pH range of 1.4–3.1. The spectra of Fe共III兲–NAPS 共1:1兲 complex with the reagent blank as reference were characterized by an

The effect of pH in the range 1.0–6.0 on the spectrum of solutions containing equimolar concentrations of the NPAS, Es, and Fe共III兲 against a reagent blank containing the same concentrations of the two ligands showed an absorption band with ␭max at 545 nm at pH 3.8 共Figs. 1 and 2兲. This band was unambiguously due to the formation of the mixed ligand complex of Fe共III兲 with NAPS and Es.

The formation of the mixed complex was investigated at different pH values using equimolar concentrations of components, the absorbance versus pH graphs at 545 nm indicate the existence of two basic equilibria that are sufficiently separated.

Effect of Diverse Ions The effect of diverse ions on the determination of Fe共III兲 at the 2 ␮g mL−1 level was investigated. The criteria for interference were an absorbance value varying by more than ⫾2 % from the expected value for Fe共III兲. The determination of Fe共III兲 as FeLA2 is possible in the presence of NH+4 , Cl−, Br−, I−, NO−3 , ClO−4 , 3+ 2+ 2+ acetate, EDTA, sulphate, citrate, borate, Ca2+, Zn2+, Hg2+, Ag+, MoO2− 共up to 200 fold 4 , Al , Ba , Sr 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ excess兲, Ni , Co , Cu , Mn , Sn , and Cd 共up to 120 fold excess兲. The alkali metal ions have no interfering effect on the determination of iron共III兲. Applications To confirm the usefulness of the proposed method, Fe共III兲 had been determined simultaneously in four pharmaceuticals vitamins samples 共Table 3兲. The results obtained were in good agreement with the certified values of pharmaceuticals vitamins and water samples the RSD value was found in the range 0.43– 0.59 % for iron共III兲 in all pharmaceuticals vitamins and water samples. Conclusions The numbers of used reagents in the iron determination in aqueous media were limited and most of them require a chromogen for spectrophotometric methods. The ligand which was used in this study had several advantages over other ligands currently utilized for photometric iron determination and it could be obtained at high yields by a simple method. This reagent forms highly stable 1:1:2 complexes with Fe共III兲 in 30 % ethanol media, at ␭max 545 and molar absorptivity 2.81⫻ 104 L mol−1 cm−1. Our method could be easily applied to various pharmaceutical, environmental, and biological samples for determination of 0.3–6.0 mg/L iron. Moreover, the method is reproducible and precise as seen from the obtained results. Therefore, the method could be regarded as rapid, simple, sensitive, reproducible, and also appropriate for direct determination of iron.
